I have been going to Yvette for years and she always delivers. I cannot thank her enough for taking care of my hair. Going to the salon is always pleasant and the time flies by. She has taken me from blonde to dark to black to color and back to blonde. My hair is still in amazing condition and I appreciate her taking care of me. Attached are a few pics of my hair and it's still good. read more

Oh man, this was a tough one to write. I went in a few weeks ago to see Yvette. I came across her Instagram and was super hopefully she would be able to help me achieve my hair goal. I asked her is she could put me down for a full balayage hair color. I had it done a couple years before and loved it but I took a break in between and was ready to bleach my hair again. When I got there she said that she'd have to do a hair correction on my hair. I was so confused as to why since I didn't have any permanent hair color or bleach in my hair. I did have a little bit of color left from when I bleached it a few years ago but she said that wouldn't be a problem when I booked it. I won't bore you with other details but long story short; she charged me $400 for a " color correction", left my hair orange and told me it would take a few sessions to get my desired hair goals. I felt that all that was very unfair because $400 for a color correction that ended up turning my hair orange ( see picture below) was way too much. Going in for at least three sessions was also a lie as I had to see someone else to get me my desired results and she was able to do it in one session ( again, see picture below). And lastly, she said my hair turning orange was completely normal. I was absolutely devastated about the way my hair turned out and expressed that to her. But she kept insisting she didn't do anything wrong. I am just giving you a heads up that she charges way too much, wants you to do "sessions" which stylist who want to overcharge often say and will just take any client even and not give you the desired result. Take a look at the pictures below. These results don't lie. I have the inspo picture, what she did to my hair and the results of how another stylist was able to fix my hair to get my desired results. I hope I can save someone the time and the drive there, of not going to Mint Hair Studio. read more

Mint Hair Studio - Picture of my hair after Yvette turned it orange. This pic was taken by a different stylist who ended up fixing my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I went for the first time to this salon and was taken care of by Erika. I've been struggling to find a hairstylist for a long time, but I think I finally found the one. Erika was super friendly off the bat and helped me out with some hair concerns that I've been having. I love the way my haircut came out and I am totally looking forward to having fun with this new hairstyle. The view from the studio was so nice and the location was super convenient since I could walk around and go get a drink after my appointment and then head over to the mall right across the street. Overall, I'm just super satisfied and happy with the whole experience read more

I've been a client of Yvette's for 3 years now!!!! A friend recommended me to her after getting my hair dyed in Mexico(the results were tragic). Thankfully Yvette was able to analyze my hair and thoroughly go over the process to fix it without damaging my bleached hair. After one session my hair was transformed. I've been going to her ever since for my hair cuts and toning sessions and have trusted no one else with my hair. My hair has never been more healthier and I love our sessions together. read more

Yvette is awesome! My hair is very thin and I am always so afraid of more hair falling out and Yvette has always taken such care with my hair and does just what is necessary to get my roots done and to keep my hair looking healthy. She tackles my gray hair and they stay covered for nearly 7 weeks or so. We occasionally add some blonde in to change it up. My hair always feels so soft and healthy after I leave. I appreciate the time and attention she provides. The salon is comfortable, clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. read more

Made an appointment with Kylie using the link on her instagram. I also received a text asking to confirm the appointment which I did. The day of my appointment i realize no one is at the studio. It's completely locked and no one in sight. I tried calling as well and zero answer. Please be better at making and actually showing up to people's appointment. A huge waste of time and honestly embarrassing. Never again. read more

Very disappointing. I had made an appointment for a haircut with Kylie, and confirmed the numerous requests from the reservation app Vagaro to confirm my appointment for 5:30 on Thursday, January 24th. I showed up for my appointment, but no one else did, including Kylie! I arrived at 5:20 to a locked door...I waited a bit, and then called the salon phone number and left a message that I was waiting outside the locked door for my appointment with Kylie. I waited a bit longer, and then it finally occurred to me to look up at the second floor window where the salon is located. All dark. No one from the salon has contacted me to apologize or explain how this miscommunication might have happened - even after I confirmed numerous times. Needless to say, I won't be making any other appointments with Kylie or anyone else at this salon. read more

Yvette is amazing and always does a great job! She's been doing my hair for years and never disappoints! Color is always amazing. She also cuts my daughters hair and gives the best cuts! read more

I had my hair done with the owner Mary, I had had multiple recommendations and was told that she was the best at what she does. I was a bit scared because I was going to cut off about 10 inches of my hair. She made me feel comfortable, asked me all the right questions to ensure I was happy with what I was getting . I was elated with what she did to my hair she brought it back to life! She also checked in with me twice after my service! Thanks Mary!! read more

I had a rather mixed experience here. Some aspects were above average, others were very disappointing, so overall, it was a bit below average. I bought a Groupon for haircut + highlights and wanted to use it a particular week when I needed to beautify myself for some visitors :) I called and got their answering machine over and over. I left a message on their facebook page which went unanswered. Then, instead of waiting for a call back, which wasn't happening for a couple days, I went into each stylist's mailbox to see if they had an additional # to be reached at. A couple of them did, and I sent them a text message. Yay! Then I got a text back! Eventually someone called me and we set up an appointment. It was easy to find and was quite a nice space. I really like the location on the 2nd floor with the view of downtown. It had an interesting perspective. The stylist, whose name I believe was Crystal, was sweet and had a nice way about her. She did my highlights quite well. They look natural, which is the main thing I'm looking for. The cut however...OH GOD THE CUT!! Want to cry still, but have to be strong. I had a previous cut problem that I was hoping to rectify. I made it crystal clear what I DIDN'T WANT, which was what I call my dog ears to be shortened. I have this annoying shelf (my other name for it) or layer that is too short and too abrupt and is quite a lot of hair all at the same level, instead of gradual layers. I was hoping she would fix it, make the layers gradual, break up the big chunk...BUT ALAS, I still have my dog ears:( She may have even elongated the shelf :( It was tragic. I don't think I would go back. I'll take my dog ears elsewhere, thank you very much ;-) read more

I got my hair done by Mary Ochoa and she was amazing! I've been asking for a certain hair style for awhile from different salons and nobody was able to give me what I asked for. I told Mary was I was looking for and showed her a a picture and she created exactly what I wanted. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

I used to love coming here to see Kylie, but this last time she truly showed her true colors! I've always paid $120 for a cut and balayage highlights. Went in for normal and Kylie seemed almost rushed I didn't pay any attention to it sense she had always done a good job before, after she washed it out I noticed it was a little darker and she said let me blow dry it. She blow dried it and styled it. I still wasn't sure but the way she styled it it looked okay when I went to pay she charged me $140 when I said oh it's went up and wouldn't even look me in the eye and said yea. The next day when I brushed it you could totally see how she messed up that she put none in the front and completely missed sections of my hair. It took her a whole day to get back to me and her response was pretty much "not problem" attitude. I asked her to please fix my hair she never got back to me then I said I wanted half my money back she then got back to me saying she can't refund me because she did what was asked I sent her a ton of pictures even contacting hair dresser friends to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and she still wouldn't admit to her mistake. She never got back to me about coming in and still hasn't to this day! It has been 2 weeks. I ended up going somewhere else to get my hair fixed and that hair dresser was shocked that I was even charged $140 because what she had done wasn't even a partial! In the end Kylie is young and unprofessional and I will not be going back to her. I can't speak for any of the other hair dressers, but my experience was terrible and I'm extremely disappointed! read more

The girls that work here are all lovely and social. The location is ideal and close to all the downtown attractions. Their prices are great and I always leave my appt. happy, and feeling beautiful!! They always have up to date products and are knowlegable about all the latest trends, colors and cuts. I highly reccomend this salon and two of my favorite girls are Crystal and Megan :) They rock! Check this place out and you wont regret it, I promise* read more

Mint hair studio is so cute! The location is great because it's downtown and you can get food before or after your appointment or if it's late and your looking good just stop by and get a drink somewhere. Kylie is super sweet and funny and nails it every time, and she's amazing at blondes! read more

I had a great experience with Kylie and raves about her. My coworker reached out to her to schedule her granddaughter for a appointment and she felt she was rude in her text. I clarified with Kylie about the text and she didn't mean to across rude with her and text miscommunication. Kylie text me saying she would reach out to her and she never did. I text her again saying I don't want to be in the middle of a appointment being schedule and I didn't get a response and neither did my friend. I truly had a great experience but after this happening with my friend I am truly disappointed that my word of someone was brokenness to upset my friend that trusted me. Will never go back. I feel horrible recommending her to my friend. read more

Yvette is the only person I will let touch my hair. She's been doing it for about 4 years I think? Anyway, she gets the color right EVERY TIME. And my hair is super stubborn. Definitely recommend Yvette! read more

I seriously don't even know where to start. I have had the worst luck with hair experiences, but Kylie is SO amazing at what she does. I had a serious issue with my hair after getting it done at a different salon, I absolutely hated it. I decided to try and find someone to fix my hair & I am so glad I chose Kylie. I sent her photos of my hair and she immediately sent me photos back of how she wanted to fix my hair and what she wanted to do. I gave her some inspos and she went with them! My hair was extremely red, so gross. She totally covered up all the red with a dark brown, and after blow drying my hair, she noticed there was still red in it and didn't settle. She told me she would go over it AGAIN after the whole process was done. She wanted perfection, and I am so glad she cared as much about my hair as I did. She's extremely passionate at what she does and literally SAVED my hair. She knew about my broke college kid situation, and gave me a very reasonable price. She was so sweet and kind throughout the 5 hours I was at her salon, getting redone. I 10/10 recommend Kylie to ANYONE wanting anything done to their hair. You won't be disappointed. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE WITH KYLIE SLOAN! If I could give 0 stars to represent how unpleasant of an experience I had, I would. I found this salon through Groupon and looked up the hairstylist Kylie Sloan on Instagram. Her work looked beautiful so I purchased two groupon deals, one for my mom and one for myself. I had sent Kylie messages on Instagram prior to purchase only for her to leave me on read. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and made the online appointments anyway. On the day of my mom's appointment, 2.5 hrs prior to the appointment time, she texts my mom saying she is sick therefore canceling. My mom took the day off to get her hair done. We wish we got more of a notice before her canceling especially since the appointment wasn't until 1:30PM. We were annoyed of the situation but again decided that these things happen. So we messaged her to reschedule. We waited 3 days for a reply only to be left on read and IGNORED ONCE AGAIN. Then I go on to her Instagram account to discover that she no longer accepts new groupon customers. It made me doubt if she was even sick to begin with. I then messaged her again asking for clarification. She AGAIN left me on read. Kylie is EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND NONRESPONSIVE. I have never received such terrible customer service. Thank goodness Groupon offered my refund. I DO NOT RECOMMEND KYLIE SLOAN TO ANYONE. YOU WILL REGRET IT!! read more

Mary is soooooo good!!! I love my hair!!! My hair got really messed up the last time I got it done by a different stylist and she made my hair the exact way I wanted it. She's my new stylist and I loveeee her! Not to mention she's fast and has good pricing!!!Thank you Mary! I'll see you soon! read more

This place is conveniently located right down town....It's above Stout Brothers giving it a great view of down town SR from their huge windows. It's really cute inside with a nice atmosphere. The prices are what you'd expect to pay for a good salon ($85 for color). I've been coming here for almost a year getting my hair done by Megan (who is awesome) and I would recommend this place to any girl who really enjoys getting their hair done :) read more

I moved to Santa Rosa a little over a year ago and was referred to Janel at Mint by a friend. I was hooked after one visit and have been going back ever since! Janel is fantastic at what she does-- she listens to what you want, gives some pointers, and works her magic, all while keeping you in the loop about what she is doing. The staff is always very friendly, and all of the other customers that come in seem to be very pleased with the services as well. I will definitely go to Mint for all of my salon needs as long as I live in Sonoma County! read more

I bought a Groupon for haircut with full highlights from this salon a couple of months ago. When I called to schedule the appointment, I was told that they were slammed with Groupons and that it could take upwards of 4 weeks to get an appointment. I was not happy with that answer. I explained that I had some interviews coming up and needed to be seen sooner, which ended up being 3 weeks from the time that I called. I had clarified with the studio before I purchased the Groupon the difference between a partial highlight and a full highlight. I purchased a full highlight because I wanted them all over my head. Once there, the stylist informed me that while the highlights would be placed through out my hair that she would start them two inches away from my part. In other words, they'd look like grown out highlights. I think the stylist's name was Crystal. Then she told me that for an additional fee she would start them at the part. I had only brought enough money for a tip so I was out of luck on getting decent highlights. She hurried through my haircut and was upset when I asked for it to be slightly shorter. I came home with part of the hair cut unevenly and had to finish it up myself. I did not even get the value of the Groupon out of this experience, let alone the supposed $170 value. I don't think I would go back nor would I recommend them to anyone else. read more

Mary, the owner is the BOMB!! She's such a sweet person and was super understanding of my busy schedule. She's helping me get to the color I want since I have super black hair and want to go to a blondish ombré/balayage. I'm going to see her next week for a cut and I can't wait ! Definitely recommend this place and her. read more

I have Mary do my hair after seeing a bunch of ladies I work with and know recommended her. I hadn't had a hair cut in almost 2 years and when she was done with my hair she made it look fabulous and totally maintainable. She gave me explanations on good hair care and since that first appt I have been back multiple times. I even had her color my hair my last visit and I felt like a new person it was fabulous. Mary is a total sweetheart and the studio is a stunning loft look in downtown Santa Rosa with a beautiful view. Make an appt ASAP if you want to feel like a whole new person or just a touch up on your already wonderful you! read more
